Acerca de esta escucha

This "truly essential" audiobook will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems (Margaret Atwood)—and explains how we can solve them.

It’s become common to tell kids that they’re going to die from climate change. We are constantly bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won’t be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, and that we should reconsider having children.

But in this bold, radically hopeful audiobook, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. In fact, the data shows we’ve made so much progress on these problems that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in human history. Did you know that carbon emissions per capita are actually down, deforestation peaked back in the 1980s, the air we breathe now is vastly improved from centuries ago, and more people died from natural disasters a hundred years ago?

Packed with the latest research and practical guidance, this audiobook will make you rethink almost everything you’ve been told about the environment. Not the End of the World will give you the tools to understand our current crisis and make lifestyle changes that actually have an impact. Hannah cuts through the noise by outlining what works, what doesn’t, and what we urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for future generations.

These problems are big. But they are solvable. We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Let’s turn that opportunity into reality.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Ecopragmatism at its best shines throughout this book... The surprising message in the data is that human civilization is far along toward solving planetary problems. Hannah Ritchie shows how building on the successful trends can finish the job.” (Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog and author of Whole Earth Discipline)

“Such a clear-eyed view of the state we're in, giving a sharp picture of the challenges ahead, and an inspiring vision of the problems we've already solved. Everyone who reads it will learn a lot–I did.” (Tim Harford, author of How to Make the World Add Up)

“A refreshingly upbeat guide to achieving sustainability. Ritchie attacks cynicism, doomerism and apathy with a barrage of data revealing the extent of our progress and illuminating the best paths ahead.” (Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century)

Environmental Sustainability Analysis

Excellent data driven approach to environmental and sustainability problems. Fun to listen to with Hannah's beautiful Scottish brogue. I learned that many of the things we think are environmentally helpful are not. Certain actions are 100 times better than others. A must read for anyone interested in environmental improvement and sustainability.

Surprising well-sourced information

The book is well-structured. It breaks apart many widespread myths around ecologism, to recommend more effictive action. It is very well sourced.

Inspiring!

Wonderful book and audio performance by Dr. Hannah Richie. I also enjoyed her reference to Dr. Hans Rosling’s book Factfulness. I ordered a copy of “Not the end of the world” book for my university library and included a reference to this book in my class syllabi. Thank you for an inspiring resource to provide to students! Too often we talk about problems but not solutions. This book provides a rational means to make progress toward larger goals.

Some nice new nuggets

I’ve read a good number of Climate books, but this one had some nice new data-backed nuggets that I appreciated. Things like plastic potentially being a net positive for some packaging food (non Intuitive), palm oil being better than many other oils, and more.

Everyone should read this.

I think this is a very important book for those of us in the environmental movement to read.

Claims based on data

This scientifically rigorous book strikes a balance between simplicity and accuracy of science-based facts. it certainly made me more optimistic and educated about the most relevant issues of our time.

Scottish Accent

The book is really great. Nuanced views backed by tons of data. Well explained, very interesting from a variety of points of views…
Still, I don’t know what fraction of the English speaking world is Scottish, but I felt the accent was pretty demanding on the American ear, and would have been better read by (anybody) else.

Simply fantastic

For years, I have had a nagging sense of doom about the future of our planet, without much sense of how to help effectively. However, this book blew my mind. So many of my ideas about what to do were wrong, and now I have a deeper understanding of some things that I can do, and some policies that I can support. The book is a fun and eye-opening look into a promising future.

Good information, thick accent

This book had a lot of great information in it, and it encourages all to question the supposedly sustainable beliefs we hold. However, I can't understand for the life of me why someone with such a strong regional accent would opt to narrate her own book instead of hiring a voice actor - I had to rewind multiple times in some cases to be able to figure out what she was saying.
